Abstract
The flat central configurations of four planet motions are investigated with Wu's elimination method. We obtain 12 collinear central configurations and a necessary condition for determining flat but noncollinear central configurations. We also prove that the number of central configurations in planet motions of 4 bodies is finite under the condition that the masses and angular velocity of the planets do not satisfy any algebraic relations.Key wordsCentral configurationWu elimination
